> If you look at immigration practice as being simply that anyone who wants to come to America and work hard should get a fair chance, then that is probably unfair. But there are those who argue that we should be selective and prioritize towards those who would contribute most. Honestly, this happens today too. I recently acquired permanent residency through the diversity visa. The process was not fun for me and I am well educated and was able to hire a good lawyer. The number of inconsistencies in documents, the myriads of rules that one should follow all play into the favor of people who are already well educated, probably have deep pockets. This bugs me from a practical standpoint because if America is going to be anything other than a high-end service economy, you need the ability to let wage competitiveness to exist on all scales of the spectrum. Obviously from a ethical standpoint, this is highly unfair and a loaded die.
